'At least he smashed me' - Geraint Thomas sees lighter side after losing pink jersey in Giro d'Italia time trial
Ineos Grenadiers rider Geraint Thomas was seemingly on course for a first ever Giro d'Italia title but a disappointing performance in the time trial on the penultimate day gave Slovenian Primoz Roglic a likely race-winning lead. In the circumstances, Thomas would have been forgiven for being in a less than genial mood, but the Welshman was able to see the lighter side. Ad Moments after Roglic completed his rapid ascent of Monte Lussari, Thomas gave his wry response.
